They THREW AWAY a PERFECTLY GOOD BIKE! Another bicycle

Dear Bikefarmer,
The bike in this video is a 1995 and is the twin to my personal bike that I am currently restoring. I love your channel and am revitalized every night when I watch your videos.
Like many others, I hung up my bike in 1997 when I bought my first car. I couldn’t bare the thought of selling it, so for the last 27 years I’ve hauled it around moving from house to house hanging it in the garage only to stare at it. Recently my children have started to enjoy evening bike rides, unfortunately I can no longer keep up with them by merely walking behind. So I decided to pull down the old Palisades trail and see if the old girl could keep up. Ive been slowly upgrading, replacing parts over the last few weeks. I’d be interested in purchasing the take-off items such as handlebars, brakes, etc. as replacement parts for this exact model and year are hard to come by. Is there a way to contact you directly? Anyway keep up the great videos and I’ll keep watching and learning. Cheers!

Thanks!

Love that paint color and finish ❤. Great bike.

I dont see it being all that bad, i see folks riding stuff like this all the time 😂😂

fun story, I was at my local bikeshop the other day and asked for spoke protectors. First thing they said was that I should just use the limit screw to adjust it proper. 🙂 I told them I wanted them just to be sure.

hey, im new here. loving the vids man!

With freewheels being so incredibly cheap, I'm not sure cleaning an old one is cost effective. For that matter, with shop time being somewhere between $.45 and $.65/minute I wonder if $300 for the bike is going to cover your cost. Of course, views should make it profitable.

I'm a huge fan of TriFlow too. It just seems to work as slick stuff. It was nice to see that you also had to fiddle with the canti brakes. I'll do them if I have to, but often swap to cheap V-Brakes. Though the stem is probably more comfortable, unfortunately it really ruins the aesthetics of the bike in my opinion. Oddly I find the riser bar fine.

It’s very soothing watching you bring these old bikes to life. Wrenching and yapping! That’s how we like it! 💪👍

Love the content. Would have liked to have seen more detail on the headset/steer tube/handlebar swap, but learning a lot from your videos while I fix up an old CCM road bike project.

27:08 Park Tool BT-2 is perfect for Fancy bois, so that cable issue never happens 😉

Its always fun watching someone work when the actuality know what they are doing.. 👍🏻 Ive said it before and I will definitely say it again.. this is good stuff man..
